New: Marginalia

By India | Published: May 6, 2010

I’ve added a sideblog to capture some of the things I come across in my daily lurking on the booktwitternet. It’s tucked in the middle of a lot of other junk right now, but when I have time, I’ll put it in its own sidebar. Should you wish to follow the sideblog via RSS, the address is http://feeds.feedburner.com/indiainkmarginalia.
